UN Human Rights Office Assessment of human rights concerns in Xinjiang

(

Created by Red-tailed hawk (talk) and Thriley (talk). Nominated by Red-tailed hawk (talk) at 13:43, 2 September 2022 (UTC).

  • Hook is too weak and contradicts actual content of the article:

"The report concluded that human rights abuses against Uyghurs and other Turkic Muslims in Xinjiang are serious and widespread."

What does "may have" mean? How does that compare to conclusions of similar reports for other parts of the world? The content of the article definitively refers to "serious" oppression. DYK would make more sense with a definitive verb (after four years of investigation!), not some vague implication that later it will be declared actual human rights abuses.

  • Oppose. The phrase "crimes against humanity" only appears a single time in relation to the subject in the report, and has been carefully presented as a possibility by the UN, rather than a direct allegation. Given that the action has only been presented as a possibility, it seem to be too indefinite for DYK. Carter00000 (talk) 06:56, 3 September 2022 (UTC)
  • Hey there, Red-tailed hawk! Unfortunately, the article is ineligible due to WP:DYK#gen1d, which prohibits ITN-boldlinked articles from appearing at DYK. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/her) 08:50, 3 September 2022 (UTC)
Makes sense. For what it’s worth, it wasn’t bolded on the main page at the time that I nominated this, though I agree that the subsequent developments render this not eligible for DYK. — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 15:11, 3 September 2022 (UTC)
